Western Time, Monday, February 25, 1986, the 16th day of the lunar month.

Location, West Hollywood District, Los Angeles, the southern end of Sunset Avenue, DreamWorks Corporation headquarters.

The weather is sunny and cloudy and the temperature is low, so it is suitable to wear autumn jackets.

So when Cameron walked to the front desk of the company, he was indeed wearing a brown leather jacket.

"Hello, Mr. Cameron."

As soon as Ai Meili at the front desk saw the visitor, she smiled and said, "Ms. Wang had already given you instructions to take the elevator directly to the chairman's office on the top floor."

Cameron had not even had time to say something: "How do you know who I am?"

Aimei burst out laughing: "Ms. Wang had already explained that as long as she saw a white-haired man in her early thirties, with a rebellious face and a handsome appearance, she would not arrive at the company too early or be too late, she would definitely be you, Mr. Cameron."

"Tsk, that girl's movie is quite accurate."

Cameron smiled sarcastically and took the elevator to the top floor as he said.

If you want to say that the company's interior decoration is very good, the potted plants everywhere are obviously girls' masterpieces. Cameron strode all the way and couldn't help but feel a little funny for Lawrence. As a boss of a big company, he had to follow his daughter and bestie's ideas in the interior layout, which really spoiled them.

Then, he pushed open the door of the chairman's office directly.

"Oh, Mr. Cameron!"

The first thing I saw in the house was naturally the well-dressed Lawrence: "Look, Alice, Mr. Cameron is here!"

"Well, come here, James, let's start chatting."

Alice seemed to be in front of the sofa, but she knew that she would never have to be polite to this tyrant on the set.

Cameron laughed indeed: "Okay! Then let's start chatting, Mr. Lawrence, do you have coffee here?"

Of course, Lawrence couldn't be done by pouring coffee by himself. After Cameron finished pouring it by himself, he sat in the reception area with the other two.

Alice simply said: "My Uncle Roger will talk to Fox's side to discuss the copyright of the alien, so we just need to talk about the sequel."

That’s right, after just one encounter, Cameron went to DreamWorks to cooperate the next morning, of course, to buy the copyrighted alien for Alice at all costs and shoot the second sequel!

"I thought about it all night last night."

Then I held it all night and wanted to ask someone to say it. Cameron couldn't wait to speak: "The sequel must not be in the same style as the first one. Alien tells the traditional thriller of monsters killing humans in a limited space like a spacecraft. If the sequel is just like the Texas Chainsaw Madness II, just find a reason and stuff a group of people and aliens together, it will be trash!"

"Indeed, although that kind of filming can guarantee a certain box office, it will definitely not become a film and television classic."

Alice realized with satisfaction that Cameron had taken the right idea from the beginning: "The alien theme has great potential to discover, and it would be a waste to make it a normal monster movie."

After saying that, she took a sip of milk tea and then said, "I thought about it all night, so should I have more than that? Do you have any ideas about the script?"

"First of all, we have to change places and we must not be any other spacecraft."

Cameron obviously had a long time ago: "In fact, the movie gave us a good place, which was the unmarked planet on the merchant ship. Ridley had arranged thousands of alien eggs there at the beginning. If he didn't have a thrilling battle, wouldn't it be a pity!?"

Good guy, looking at Cameron's excited look, Alice was really a little suspicious. Isn't this guy really a time traveler?

Cameron's production must be a fine product, which has been verified by the market. He wrote and directed the Alien II by himself back then. As a sequel to the prequel, the biggest difference in the second part is that he completely gave up the essence of the previous work as a horror film, that is, the sneak attack of monsters in a small space, and turned to filming it into a complete action film.

Didn’t the former director Ridley arrange an alien?

OK, I Cameron has thousands of them!

Didn't you, Ridley, lock the shooting location in a spacecraft?

OK, I will let the space version of the American soldiers exchange fire with the alien army head-on on the small planet you prepared for me!

To be honest, Cameron is Cameron, and he can't accept it. This idea is really subversive.

What's the meaning?

Think about it, the Scream Series, the Death Comes Series, the Chainsaw Series, the Deadly Bevel Series, and the Ghost Street Series, aren’t it all horror film series that countless directors directly shoot at the pace of the first part?

That is, the so-called smelly and long series is also

But Cameron's move is equivalent to moving the alien out of the smelly and long series, and then shaping it into a classic. Because it is in this movie that Cameron brought out the concept of "Alien Queen"!

Isn't it very powerful?

But the problem is that it is normal to think so. After all, Alice is asking Cameron to shoot now, which is a movie he wrote and directed.

But, it seems like it takes only a day and a night of effort?

I came up with the most critical point so quickly!?

"Good idea!"

Alice's joy was really not pretending: "Since the location was chosen for that asteroid, what about the plot? The protagonist will definitely be Ripley. What reason should she give her to go back?"

The time for a day and night was still short, and Cameron said frankly: "I'm still making up, do you have any good ideas?"

Alice said without hesitation: "The asteroid has become a colony, and dozens of families live there. Ripley goes back to save them. What's the reason?"

As soon as Cameron said this, there was no need for Mr. Lawrence, who had been listening, couldn't help it: "Isn't that planet uninhabited? How could it become a colony in the blink of an eye?"

Cameron was just waiting for Alice to give the answer.

"Well, when the alien ended, did Ripley fight with the alien who sneaked into the pole and then eliminate it? Then set it up. She accidentally deviated from the channel when she was in hibernation, and she drifted in the universe for more than fifty years before she was discovered?"

With a relaxed look on his face, Lawrence opened his mouth silently and choked hard: "More than fifty years!?"

Cameron said calmly: "You have a purpose for this, right?"

"More than fifty years are enough to make her child die. We can set that her child has never married or married for life because her mother disappeared. Then think about it, the heroine wakes up and things change, her true love son, her daughter has just passed away, and she stays alone in a strange world. Then at this moment, she learns that the planet of the original has become a colony, with dozens of families there?"

Alice focused on the word "family".

This time, after a long time, the two adults in the room were silent.

"well"

Finally, Lawrence sighed slowly: "Lonely hero, Cameron, if you describe this plot carefully in the early stage of the movie and then echo it back and forth. Then based on this alone, the box office of this movie will be guaranteed."

In this way, most of the filming details about Alien II were discussed quickly, and Alice even told the setting of Alien Queen, not to mention a large number of very critical plots. As lunch approached, Cameron shouted angrily.

"Are you taking pictures or me taking pictures?? With so many wonderful settings, even the conception of the virtual environment system is revealed. You might as well just take pictures by yourself! Bastard! You big bastard! How do you let me think about it!?"

Alice said innocently: "I didn't say I asked you to write a script at any time, I just asked you to shoot it."

As a result, Cameron suddenly lost his temper.

Yes, Alice has always said that he would come and shoot, and asked him only what he thought, but she never said that he would write the script himself.

"All right"

He looked discouraged: "I have to admit that your creativity is really great. To be honest, if someone gave me a script, I would have to sneer, but now you have said so much to me."

Alice: "How is it?"

“It’s so fucking satisfying!”

Cameron said quite readily: "I want to ask, Alice, are you sure you are not back from the future!?"

"Well, I'm very sure I'm, what do you think?"

"I believe it!"

"Oh, then Microsoft stocks are going to go public. Are you buying some? Buy some, believe me, you will definitely make a big profit."

"Oh? Really? I know Microsoft, do you know, are you sure its stock will make a big profit?"

"I'm from the future, I've got internal news, look, James."

Lawrence, who was watching, said that the topic seemed to be wrong.

However, this topic will not last long. The office phone that had been quiet for a long time suddenly rang, and Lawrence had to get up to answer.

"Hello, I'm Roger Lawrence."

"Oh, Frey? Are you looking for Alice?"

Lawrence smiled and looked at the girl looking up: "It seems you have made new friends. Alice and Frey are complaining to me, saying that she forgot to ask about your home phone yesterday."

"What did she ask me for?"

Alice was a little strange and took the phone and said, "Hey Frey, are you asking me for something?"

Opposite the phone, Frey's voice was obviously a little nervous: "That Alice, are you free this afternoon?"

The girl's gentle voice was like a lark. To be continued.
